2020 MD Family Engagement Summit – Session 5 Transcript 2020 MD Family Engagement Summit – Session 5 Transcript Cindy Lessner: Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. I'm going to give everybody just a couple of minutes to hop on and get comfortable before we get started. While we're waiting if you want to put in the chat box where you're from, who you are, where you're from, what program you're with, where we all get to see who's joining us today. Thank you. See lots of people from Howard County. I miss my peeps at Howard County. Hello. Seeing people join us from other states today. That is great. Welcome and thank you for joining us. All right, I'm going to go ahead and get started. I want to welcome everybody to Maryland's 2020 Family Engagement Summit webinars series. This is our fifth and final session. We welcome everybody here. My name is Cindy Lessner. I'm the collaboration and program improvement branch chief with the Division of Early Childhood at the Maryland State Department of Education. So thank you all for joining us. Cindy Lessner: Like I said, this is our fifth and final session. This session I'm very excited about. This is taking everything we've learned over the past several months. We started in August. This is taking everything we've learned and taking that information, those lessons, and showing us how to move equity forward. What are all of our roles? What are our responsibilities and how do we move this work forward? So before we get started, I want to make sure that I thank, the Maryland Family Engagement Coalition for their work with this, this was a collaborative effort between MSDE, the Family Engagement Coalition and the collaborative action for family engagement with MAEC, the Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium. So I want to make sure I thank everybody for their work with his and their partnership to make this happen. Cindy Lessner: And just a couple of logistics before we get started. If you have any comments, please use the chat box. If you want to make any comments during the presentation and if you have any specific questions for any of our presenters at any time, please use the Q and A box. We will make sure to answer those questions or answer them live as possible. And finally, I just want to also thank our deputy state superintendent, Dr. Carol Williamson. She has been a huge supporter of our family engagement work and our equity work and all of our initiatives at the division of early childhood. And I wanted to make sure to thank her for being a part of all of this work in each and every one of our sessions during this time. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Carol Williamson the deputy state superintendent, the office of teaching and learning. Thank you. Dr. Carol Williamson: Thank you, Cindy. I appreciate that very much. Good afternoon and thank you all so much for being here today. First, I want to thank Carrie Hyde and Dorothy Stoltz the Family Engagement Coalition co-chairs as Cindy did, and the entire Family Engagement Coalition. All of you have worked so hard over the past few months, putting together a very informative and thoughtful summit series. Each of them has been exemplary. And please know that we appreciate all that you do. As Cindy stated, this is the last of our Family Engagement summit series, whether you attended every session or just a couple of them, we hope that this series has been very informative for you and that all of you are able to take away new information or new skills and apply it to your work. Today's session, equity on the ground is so important. Not only will we be provided with invaluable information, but we will be given strategies to move our equity work forward. Dr. Carol Williamson: As educators, we all have a responsibility to have a comprehensive understanding of equity and how it affects the way in which we engage with our children and families, regardless of our positions in education, we all play a role in moving equity forward. Some of us may be in leadership position and are looking for professional development in this area. Others of us, maybe teachers or providers, and are sharing information with colleagues or families, whatever your role, we're all learning more and changing how we engage with our children and families. Always remember the smallest change can have the biggest impact. Just like we are asking all of you to commit to moving equitable solutions forward, the state is committed to this as well. Later in the session, you'll hear about some of our initiatives around this important work that will improve how we engage with our children and our families. Dr. Carol Williamson: So let's get started with today's keynote, Dr. Aaliyah Samuel. Dr. Samuel is a senior fellow at the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University and the executive vice president of Government Affairs and Partnerships at NWEA. Dr. Samuel is a bilingual executive leader with expertise from early childhood through higher education. Her experience includes program evaluation and evidence-based programs, data collection, and dis-aggregation, family and community engagement support strategies, and policy development and implementation at the local, state and national level. Dr. Samuel has informed state policy agendas assisted with developing cross systems approaches to develop policy solutions, to support children and families and leading systems level change. And in her current role at NWEA, she leads a team working on driving a state and federal education agenda. Dr. Carol Williamson: Prior to NWEA, Dr. Samuel was the director of education at the National Governor's Association. While at NGA, her work included business development, strategic planning, and supporting high ranking state officials on the development of policies that impacted health, education and workforce. Dr. Samuel has worked with diverse constituents, philanthropic and national partners. She holds an undergraduate degree from Tuskegee University, a master's from University of South Florida and a specialist and doctorate degree from Nova Southeastern. We are delighted that she could be here with us today. Dr. Samuel, I'm turning the meeting over to you. Thank you. Dr. Samuel: Good afternoon, everyone. And thank you so much for that introduction. I am going to hopefully, successfully share my screen the first time here. So, let me know if you can see my presentation here. For some reason, everyone disappeared. So I can't get a thumbs up to see if I am in fact sharing. All right. We're going to play from the start. All right. I'm getting messages in the chat box that you can see it so perfect. That's success. So I really am honored to be the one closing out this series with all of you. And I really appreciate the bio. I'm going to level set and say with all of the things I've done, most important I'm a mom. I have a six year old and a 10 year old, who I have asked to please be quiet while I'm doing this presentation. But if you hear interruption of noise, it's kind of the life we're living right now. Dr. Samuel: I am also fundamentally at my core and educator. I was a former elementary teacher, special education teacher, assistant principal, and principal. And I really try to lead through the lens of being a mom, being an educator, being a woman of color and a leader in this space. And with that, I want to just frame that my hope in this conversation this afternoon is that, and not just this afternoon, but the culmination of all of the conversations that you all have had since August, that it really serves as a key to unlock conversations, to unlock a new way of thinking, to really begin to help us challenge the status quo and start to dig a little deeper. With these conversations around equity and race and racism, in some cases it really closes people off to conversations. And my hope is that the conversation that we will have today continues to broaden and open up the perspectives and some of the data that I'll be sharing is true national data. And then I'll also be sharing my own experiences, but really my hope is that we can broaden the conversation and really start to think differently about some really challenging issues. Dr. Samuel: And so I want to start with really, since COVID hit, we continue to hear we're all in this together. We're all in this together. We're all experiencing COVID together. When really the reality of it is our experiences are very different. And we have to get clear on, as we talk about equity, are we really talking about equality or are we really digging into equity? And the next slide, I'll unpack a little bit what I mean by both of those, but I want to just stop for a minute and ask you to look at this picture of these boats. And I'd like you to just in the chat box drop in what boat you think you might be in, or what boat the families that you serve and interact with might be in. And I'm just going to take a moment and read some of the comments out.

INSTITUTION Center for Research on Evaluation,Standards, and Student Testing, Los Angeles, CA. SPONS AGENCY Office of Educational Research andImprovement (ED), Washington, DC. REPORT NO CSE-TR-514 PUB DATE 1999-12-00 NOTE 21p. CONTRACT R305B60002 PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Case Studies; *Cooperation; *Educational Change; Educational Environment; Elementary Education; Middle Schools; *Teacher Attitudes; Teachers IDENTIFIERS *Exemplary Schools; Kentucky; *Kentucky Education Reform Act 1990; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT This report follows two elementary and two middle schools in Kentucky where educators not only talked about what they needed to do to meet the needs of the state's educational reform program, but also acted on their ideas, creating a "no excuses" atmosphere. Images of reform suggest that resource decisions are often based on human relationships among faculty members, and that these, in turn, influence the desire to go out into the community to get what is needed to propel learning forward. These schools characterized themselves as "lighthouses" and "universities" where ongoing learning was key. However, the business side of things was less critical than the emphasis on "family." The report demonstrates how four different exemplary schools took on the question of "What is it we need to do?" and formed a shared vision through their dedication to students, staff, faculty, and school. (SLD) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Short Story 2020-2021
    That One Summer Neda Ravandi 2/24/2021 It all started with David Redford’s goldfish and the dead body. Davey, ever the patriot, had named him John Fitzgerald, and after six long years of friendship it was decided that a death by toilet would not do him justice, so after hastily written notes were left on our respective kitchen counters, we packed baloney sandwiches, shovels, and a small shoebox in a picnic basket and made the mile-long trek out of town. The girls wore our nicest summer dresses, with long, silk hair ribbons, and the boys wore overalls; it was assumed they’d do the tedious work of digging John Fitzgerald’s grave. The funeral was a somber event, and Davey used up many tissues. It was hot that day, sun beating down on our backs through the thin cotton of our summer clothes, and the ceremony lasted for about fifteen minutes before we grew drowsy with summer warmth and sat down on the grass. After a respectful period of time, during which Davey’s grief had lessened, his brother looked at us. “Didja hear about the murder?” “The murder?” “Mr. Miller,” Robbie said solemnly. “Sheriff Johnson found his body all messed up in the cornfields.” Murder rarely happened around here, so we perked up at his words. I wondered aloud if I’d be allowed to write about the case in the Council Grove Republican, but Maggie shrugged. “Well it’s not much of a mystery, is it? There’s no case for solvin’ if everyone knows who did it.” Jamie Flynn was an enigma; rumors hung around him like flies.
